A Single-blade propeller is a notable configuration of a propulsion system used on aerodynes to generate thrust. Normally propellers are multiblades. The simplicity of a single-blade propeller fits very well on motorized gliders, because it permits the design of a smaller aperture of the glider fuselage for retraction of the powerplant, the counter-balanced teetering mono-blade propeller generates less vibrations then all the other conventional multiblade configurations.
